Last class before my Summer holidays: Sunday 22/07: 4:00PM – 90 minute class at Sampoorna Yoga Studio
Hopefully we’ll meet in class(es), or otherwise in the new school year.
FYI: in case you are pregnant, please inform me prior to attending the class, you can participate without a problem, but I’ll need to point out some alternatives forPranayama, the sun salutations, as well as for some asanas.
Since 2010, a bunch of very motivated yogins in Brussels organize the Yoga Mala around the Summer Solstice. All participants donate some money and all the proceeds go to a charity. Why 108 ? Good question, Shiva Rea has written a beautiful article about it, read it here.
So please join in on Sunday morning, 17 June 2018, as the Yoga community comes together for the 9th time in a celebration of the unity of Yoga to raise money for charity (cause still to be decided).
As we welcome the Summer Solstice let us offer our gratitude to life by saluting and honouring the Sun. We will practice a Yoga Mala, a prayer in motion of 108 rounds of Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutations).
The practice will be a meditative flow, and whether we as individuals are able to do 1 or 108 rounds, the importance lies in our participation and intention – as a collective we will complete the Mala. There will be different teachers leading the rounds of Surya Namaskar, the practice is the Sivananda Hatha Yoga tradition.
Being there together in a spirit of loving-kindness, peace and joy is what it’s all about. And who knows what wonders will come from that…
The event is family-friendly, so children, partners and grandparents are warmly welcome. There will be Yoga for kids in parallel with the Mala, and other fun activities. Tea and biscuits for after!
You can also make a difference, so come and make it happen together with the Brussels’ yoga community.

For pregnant yoginis, your pregnancy is a great and unique moment to reconnect with your body and your intuition, and yoga can help you with that. Prenatal yoga classes with my colleague and friend Layakari are an adaptation of the basic Sivananda class for pregnancy special needs. In this way the future mum can benefit of the physical aspect of yoga, as well as preparing breath and mind for labor. In the classes you will learn the following:
Connecting with deep resources of strength and energy, with the baby and the pregnancy
Postural alignment, releasing stress, tension and fatigue Control of the breath and breathing techniques
Stretching and strengthening
Preparing for labor
Relaxation
Practical info IMPORTANT: Prenatal yoga students should have passed the first trimester to start with the lessons ! Timing: Wednesday 9:30 – 10:45 AM Location: Sampoorna Yoga Studio 40 Rue du Houblon, 1000 Brussels
Special event on 27/01/2018 at Sampoorna Yoga Studio in Brussels, with Layakari: workshop ‘Adapting your yoga practice during your pregnancy’, more info
Happy 2018. Happy New Yoga Year 🙂 May it bring love & joy to you, as well as lots of yoga! To prepare for the new year ahead, I like to reflect on my favorite people and moments of the year before. For the new year, I promised myself to practice as well as teach yoga as often as possible.
Yoga is such a wonderful ‘tool’ as I like to call it: as it helps you to take good care of oneself. So if you want to simply try a class, renew your practice or continue your ongoing practice, feel free to join my classes this year.

We’re already almost in December ! The year has passed so quickly. The last month of the year definitely requires more regular yoga sessions to help you deal with (possible) stress and the heavy eating that is often related to December festivities 🙂

The Vegan lifestyle is not boring, complicated, or expensive. This blog was designed in the hopes to simplify the process of healthy eating. I welcome everyone, not just vegans.
Hopefully you’ve enjoyed a great Summer and did do (some) yoga while on holidays.
